The house was clean and the neighborhood was nice and quiet.

The host was absolutely great to work with. We had to extend our trip several times and when they could no longer accommodate the extension requests they referred us to another home, which we are now in. Very responsive.

We were taking a family vacation for spring break and our daughters college graduation. The home was exactly as stated when we booked it. I loved the welcome basket when we arrived. We came in late the night of check in and the instructions to get into the home were easy to follow. The back yard was great for the kids to play and for the adults to sit and visit. The home was clean and accomidating. The only thing I was suggest would be to upgrade the beds. The master bed was broken down and slept rough. Thank you so much for such a wonderdul experience with our first ever stay at an a vrbo. If we travel again to that area we will definitely consider staying with you again.
